Andrew Horrocks and Ian Tanner are the Canadian duo known as One Hundred Days (formerly known as The Obvious), whose fifth album was recorded in 1998, but mysteriously not released until 2000 on Audio X. Throwing caution to the wind and eschewing commercial accessibility to embrace their indie status in all its glory, Super Terrific Happy Hour has a raw guitar-dominated sound that is more like Matchbox 20 than Crowded House or PFR, as they sounded on earlier releases. 'Sandals' and 'First Plane' feature the expected hooks, but others exhibit a degree of XTC quirkiness, e.g. 'Carpet Time' pokes fun at Pentecostal holy rollers. Other songs include: 'Like No Other,' 'You,' 'So Much Depends,' 'Take It Slow,' 'Suspense,' 'Contact,' 'Always A Reason,' 'Scalidag,' 'How Can I Be Sure' and 'Purple Shades.'
